Fun Friday Flies
An assemblé is a jump that is often done incorrectly. It is a jump in which the legs must come
together (assemble) in the air,
before the feet make contact with the earth again.
To do this, it is the “bottom” leg - that is, the one that
leaves the floor last - that needs to meet the other leg in the air. Then both legs come down together and land in
fifth together. This is trickier than it
seems. If the first leg is too high,
the second leg cannot “catch” it, and if the dancer doesn’t think about “assembling”
the legs in the air, they will inevitably assemble on the ground.
To prevent this, imagine catching a fly in between the
ankles in the air. If a fly isn’t to
your liking, imagine catching a snowflake, or anything else that might be found
in the air. A mosquito, perhaps.
Secret #15d:
“In an assemblé, to
make sure the legs assemble in the air, imagine catching a fly between the
ankles.”
